  • Page 32 Simrad ST90 Factory Acceptance Test The properties of each of the available communication ports are defined on the I/O Setup page. The page allows your ST90 system to communicate with external Sensor Installation sensors and systems. To make sure that the information from the "most reliable" sensors are used by the ST90 system, use the page to define a datagram priorities.
